gmat test meaning. but in this problem, we need grammar to solve and, so, I think this problem is dirty.
possesive+ doing+noun is incorrect. this is hard and fast rule . this is grammatical point . both gerund and participle can not used in this pattern. doing as pure noun, participle and gerund is hard and basic grammar point.
"fall behind in doing" is an idiom . in this pattern, "doing" already refers to the subject. this means action of doing is done by the subject and we do not need to add "its" or "his" before "doing".
both two points above are purely grammatical points and is not easy point. so, this problem test hard point of grammar but because these points are basic , gmat could test

Option E has a fall behind in... not a fail behind in...
... but then proved unable to handle the increase in business, falling months behind in paying...

EducationAisle GMATNinja, after reading the forum I see that (C) just has "its" that causes the error. GMATNinja as you say. But could I know the grammar error as to why "its" is incorrect? GMATNinja you mentioned that there is no reason to stick a possessive pronoun before "ing" is this some grammar rule that I need to keep in mind?
I was down with (C) and (E) and while I preferred "(E)falling months behind in paying" because it "sounds right" I chose to not listen to my ear and pick (C). Why? I had a preference of having an IC after ",but"
